Return To Christmas by Kathi Macias

So many men and women sacrifice their lives for America everyday. In this example, I am using Marines. Some marines die. Other men come back home but stagger under heavy mental pressures. Either way families suffer unexpected pain. Therefore, our responsibility is to always remember these people. In Return to Christmas by Kathy Macias, I met such a family. They have one son.

In the same novel, there is also another family. This family is very concerned with their son's  social development. The son's name is Ryan. He is extremely shy. He doesn't interact with the children at the Sunny Day Care center or with the children at Sunday School.  The mother, Mrs. Pritchard, hopes that another child will help Ryan become more confidant.  Kevin seems like the perfect friend because he is very outgoing. I liked reading about his friendship with two other little boys at the day care.

I also learned the name for Ryan's condition. It's called Attachment Disorder. I felt more comfortable knowing the name of the "disorder" rather than just calling the little one shy. The author deals with other real problems that might face parents and married people such as an interracial family. Multicultural families add so much to our lives. Still, societal problems may develop. I am grateful to the author, Kathy Macias, for looking at these different circumstances facing families.kathimacias.com/books/
